Report #64531

[synthesis] False validation confusing transport-layer parsing success with application-layer logic success

Separate transport validation \(parsing\) from business logic validation \(semantic assertions\) with explicit error field checking

Journey Context:
Agents receive HTTP 200 with JSON \`\{'error': 'quota exceeded'\}\`. Parser succeeds, so agent marks task complete. Business logic errors must be checked separately from serialization success. Explicit error field validation catches application failures masked by transport success.
